Jets' Ryan defends Sanchez, vows to restore order

Published November 20, 2014

Jets coach Rex Ryan says embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez has the support of the organization, and he vows to clean up a team that was in turmoil late in the season.

With some teammates and members of the organization anonymously questioning Sanchez's work ethic and leadership abilities in a Daily News story this week, Ryan came to his quarterback's defense. "If it's not all of them, the majority of our football team has a great deal of confidence in Mark Sanchez," Ryan said on a conference call Friday introducing new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano.

Ryan is also disappointed by players anonymously criticizing Sanchez.

"Saying things and not putting your name on it? That's not being a Jet," he said. "That's going to change without question."
